Chapter One
Arrow in the Dark
Kagome stood on the hillside, her bow to her side, an arrow in between her fingers, she was waiting. The demons were coming at her with such a speed that she couldn't tell where the jewel shard was in the great mass. She slowly brought up her bow, fitting her arrow neatly onto the string. As she let go, the dark, moonless, night was lit up. The arrow hit the jewel, and the demon blew up into little pieces, the other demons fled in fear.
Kagome turned around and walked towards Sango and Miroku, both of them guarding the small hut in which Inuyasha kept himself hidden for the night. "You see, I can do this on my own," Kagome exclaimed as she reached them. "It is almost over, but more might come still."
"Yes, and what about the jewel shard?" Miroku asked.
"A demon caught it and ran off with it," Kagome said, anger rising up from her. Kagome suddenly sensed a jewel shard, so she turned around and fired a sacred arrow. The arrow went through the demon, destroying it. The small jewel shard fell to the ground in front of them. Kagome went over to it and picked it up, the jewel purifying with her touch.
The jewel of four souls would never be whole until Naraku was destroyed and they were all beginning to think that maybe they would never destroy him. Kagome suddenly felt the power of the jewel, a large shard, larger then any she had ever felt before, "Naraku is close," she stated simply.
Then, all of the sudden a bright light, and she could no longer sense him, "What was that?" Sango asked. But none of them could answer.
Author's Note:
Yes I know that this is perhaps the shortest chapter in the history of , but this chapter is just a leading chapter. It has no significance right now, but it will after a few chapters. I told myself that I wouldn't upload this until I was done with two chapters, but what the heck, why not just do it now.
